data-mm-id=”_aitf24mwq”>A week ago at this time we were just coming to grips with the shocking and disturbing news that beloved actor Rick Moranis had been attacked while on an early-morning walk. It was truly awful and hope remains that justice will be served in the form of zapping the assailant with that shrinking ray gun and forcing him or her to serve time in a tiny jail. Somehow we've moved on, though Moranis is never far from our minds: same as always since about 1984. Want evidence of just how deeply Moranis' misfortune has impacted us? We're now relating all space to the place he was punched. At least if this New York Post's headline is any indication.

CNBC, Bloomberg, and other financial coverage has seen tremendous growth in entertainment value over the past week-plus as new characters keep emerging from the woodwork with the promise to make the text even richer.Like Scott Galloway, who made quite an entrance this morning on MSNBC, painting an extremely bleak picture of people participating in the free markets. dude wut pic.twitter.com/gQ1DJAqCzU— Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) February 1, 2021Now, I do not doubt that he is exponentially more intelligent than myself.

data-mm-id=”_7sm0754p9″>To the delight of most local fans and the disappointment of all content creators, Russell Westbrook's disastrous tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers came to an end last night. The former MVP was traded for D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. The failed experiment has, finally, shuttered. Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves are finalizing trade sending D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt to Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook and first-round pick to Utah and Mike Conley Jr. and second-round pick compensation to Minnesota, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 9, 2023Westbrook is currently a member of the Utah Jazz but there is no reason to think he will suit up for even one game.

data-mm-id=”_5hku7ga0m”>Nancy Mace serves the 1st District of the State of South Carolina in the House of Representatives. Today she woke up at 7am so she could speak at Tim Scott's 13th Annual South Carolina Prayer Breakfast. That's when her fiancé tried to pull her back into bed to have sex, which she didn't have time for because she had to get to the prayer breakfast. This is a literal story that she told to the attendees of the prayer breakfast. Nancy Mace at Tim Scott's prayer breakfast: "I woke up this morning at 7, Patrick my fiancé tried to pull me by my waist in bed and I was like 'no baby we don't have time for that this morning' I gotta get to the prayer breakfast… He can wait. I'll see him later tonight." pic.twitter.com…

data-mm-id=”_89tvhacoh”>Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills were beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday night, and people focused heavily on the quarterback's audible calls. Amazon's broadcast microphones picked up Allen calling out his checks and they were really clear. Rather than using Peyton Manning's "Omaha" call, Allen used the names of fellow professional athletes. Allen's line-checks that we heard were, "LeBron James," "J.R. Smith," "Bobby Wagner," and "Jamal Adams." We have no idea what those meant in context, but they were very clearly heard on the broadcast. Check this out:Josh Allen's audibles so far tonight:- LeBron James- JR Smith- Jamal Adams- Bobby Wagner pic.twitter.com/TSOU5UeXeH— Ari Meirov …

data-mm-id=”_dss83ze2o”>The Los Angeles Clippers are in San Antonio to face the Spurs Wednesday night and that means Spurs fans get to give Kawhi Leonard an earful whenever he touches the ball. That didn't sit well with Gregg Popovich, who grabbed the arena mic and told the crowd to stop booing. The incident came late in the second quarter when Leonard was at the free throw line. The crowd was heartily booing the former Spurs star and between his two free throws, Popovich walked to the scorer's table and grabbed the arena mic. He said, "Excuse me for a second. Please stop all the booing and let these guys play. It's got no class. It's not who we are. Knock off the booing."Here's video:Wow. #Spurs HC Gregg Popovich just grabbed the arena microphone wit…

data-mm-id=”_ibzx0ugom”>While most of the NFL world has been focused on free agency, a story broke on Tuesday that has to have the New York Jets freaking out — along with the rest of us. Robert Kennedy Jr. claims Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is under consideration to be his running mate. Kennedy, a long-time anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, is currently running an independent campaign for president. It hasn't been going well. RFK Jr. has claimed he talks to Rodgers often and Rodgers has been receptive to overtures about being his running mate. Jesse Ventura, another hardcore conspiracy theorist, is also under consideration. From the New York Times' reporting:Mr. Kennedy said that he had been speaking with Mr. Rodgers “pretty continuously” for the past month, and that …
